The
faces of the hard working farmers toiling the land after the
devastation of the Great Depression were captured in a pictorial history
that tells the tale of the agricultural communities plagued by economic
hardship in the 1940s.

Stunning photographs show the quintessential Western community of Pie Town, New Mexico as seen through the camera lens of Russell Lee.

Mr
Lee traveled to the area in October 1940 to capture images of farmers
across the country for the Farm Security Administration, a division of
the Department of Agriculture.

Thanks Joe. Pictures of CAN DO PEOPLE with MAKE DO SITUATIONS.

 

Somewhere around here, I have a picture of my family at my Grandfather's farm,

circa 1947 or so.

 

 

We looked like a group from Tobacco Road. But you will never find another

group of people that were as hard working, kind, and sharing as those people.
